exposure
and medically known as
Mesothelioma.

Becoming knowledgeable about your condition is the
first step, but each month we hear of people who have
been diagnosed and then simply sent home - with no

you know your condition, know your legal

Asbestosis
is a distinct type of lung cancer caused
by the occupational
hazard
of asbestos exposure and is known as Asbestosis.
In most cases, asbestos cancer is caused by exposure to asbestos and
affects the lining of the lungs. At
present,
treatment is
limited to surgical removal of the
damaged tissue, often the right lung where asbestos poisoning often
occurs first.

The internet gives
us a special opportunity to be informed and to find
medical advice from a specialist in asbestos cancer
and get help
for patients diagnosed with mesothelioma.
